T.J. Brown vs. Shayilan Nuerdanbieke at UFC Vegas 57
Both Shayilan Nuerdanbieke and T.J. Brown were looking to extend their win streaks at UFC Vegas 57. After three rounds of back-and-forth action, Nuerdanbieke exited the octagon with a unanimous decision win.
They were evenly matched in the first two rounds. In the final round, Nuerdanbieke took Brown down early and maintained top control to earn a decision victory. All three judges scored the bout 29-28 in favor of the Chinese featherweight contender.
Apart from Nuerdanbieke, the UFC has quite a few Chinese fighters on its roster. Zhang Weili, a former strawweight champion, is the most notable chinese fighter in the UFC. She will likely take on Carla Ezparza, the reigning 115-pound queen, later this year.
Strawweight contender Yan Xiaonan has emerged as an intriguing prospect in recent years. Her record stands at 15-3 and she currently occupies the No.5 spot in the rankings.
Bantamweight standout Song Yadong has also been making waves in the UFC since signing with the promotion. The 24-year-old currently occupies the No.9 spot in the 135-pound rankings and will be taking on the toughest test of his career when he locks horns with top contender Cory Sandhagen in September.
